      Sorry for the lack of WIPs. Life came along and ate my spare time, so now I'm doing this in a hurry. Have to set aside more time for the next one I do ...

      I haven't worked much on his face or a couple of background elements yet, but otherwise this is close to finished.

        Applecrow: I'm loving the sketch. Nice mood and comp so far.
        Lizclarke: I know what you mean, life ate my spare time too this week. Nice work. Squinting at monitor, traditional media right?

        Coming up for air and posting a wip before crawling to bed. Don't know if I'll finish, I've got some way to go still and can't give this as much time as I'd like in the next 24 hours or so...

          CiroCorreia: Yes, it's acrylics. Yours is progressing nicely, I hope you will get it finished.
          notpill: Looks fantastic! Quite cinematic.

          Well, I guess I'm calling this done.

            Hey folks - Finals thread is posted: http://cghub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2565

            Some really, really fantastic work this round! You guys just rock! I'll try to get some individual crits for you in the next day or so.

            My apologies about the serious delay. Work has been slamming me and I am running slightly behind in the extracarricular activities.

            I've extended the deadline by a day - so you've got until tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5pm (Pacific) to post your final if you want to put any tweaks on it.

            I'll get the next round posted either this evening or tomorrow mid-morning.

            All the best, and thanks for your understanding,
            ~Shane

              Excellent, running behind as well - and well work is a bitch that keeps riding my free time XD

              notpill - very impressive work, you've got alot going on in there, i'm tempted to say that might end up being more of a movie poster than a book cover (thats not a bad thing though)

              lizclarke - Looking pretty sweet, although why is the author font larger than the title of the book :S

              adamsimons - Extremely interesting composition, though the barsoom stories and john carter take place in the late 1860's dunno how strict we need to follow the descriptions of Burroughs' stories.

                Finally my first one. Hope you guys enjoy it...Here's my final entry:



                And here's a pre-version of it. It has a more comic book style (lines and flat shadings) , which I's easily for me to work on...but, Contests are to discover new things, isn't it?



                Few but quality entries. I really enjoy your stuff people.

                  My final! Thanks for the precious crits!
                  @dadoalmeida - Good work..although I actually i prefer your more comic book style version...just my personal preference
                  @notpill - awesome! I like the treatment of the fonts too. And i see Natalie Portman :P
                  Good effort everyone. It was a fun round, enjoyed seeing the works in here. Goodluck!

                    Default update...


                    some really good stuff guys, though I only just jumped into this its been fun watching and working. definitely going to comment on all the art so far after I get near finished with this one, you guys all make this even more enjoyable...

                    good to hear of the extension as I probably would not have time to finish otherwise. reformatted the composition a bit and threw in the title placeholder til I can figure out exactly what I want it to look like....pretty sure of the setup at this point, and all thats left is to detail and refine...

                    yay!
                    just tweaked the colors to gain a bit of darkness and drama.






                    Fantastic round guys, there is a lot of really great entries!


                    foofoo the funny things is that she was Bo Derek (at least she was my reference) and you can see her in my early wip, but at some point I've changed her lips, painted some stroke on the chin and ...bang, Natalie Portman! LOL

                      hey, just saw the time extension... lol, after painting myself into a dazed stupor up to 2 am this morning. Real happy about the extension cause I still wanted to finish off some things on my piece.
